Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.
Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.
Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

MemberI wondered where that character came from... Like if she was official to the comics or something else I might of missed.

MemberThis looks like a Mobian version of the character fromt he beginning of the Sonic movie.

MemberLongclaw actually. Happy to finally see someone draw this character

MemberMovie-exclusive character. She's Sonic's foster mother.

MemberJust saw the movie and this seems right.
It's good that they try to do an origin story for Sonic.

MemberShe seems to be a nod to the "Old man" from the Sonic OVA movie (watch it in japanese with english subs, it's awesome).
That said, Sonic's entire character revolves around how he completely refuses to talk about his past. His saying is often "I can't think about yesterday because tomorrow won't wait for me."
He blows off all friends and foe alike by refusing to talk about his past when it's brought up. The only one this didn't happen with is Blaze the cat.
After an entire game of the two fighting tooth and knuckle, she finally rips into him; "I've been hated for being different, I've been attacked for having these strange powers, and I've been alone for so long. How could you possibly understand what it's like?!" and for the first time in ANY game, Sonic doesn't have a reply, because it hit far too close to home.
Then there is the fact that Tails is ALSO a "freak" and somehow became Sonic's best friend.
So yes, it's 100% viable that Sonic was singled out, considered a freak, and hated. The few who tried to defend him likely suffered the same as him and he couldn't stand it. So, Sonic ran... And he ran... and he never looked back.

MemberShe's beautiful.

MemberI hope the mobian version of that character gets in the comics or any side medium
ginkei
MemberThis is a pretty good analysis but sadly it has been nullified because Sega doesn't know what to do with the serie (RIP Blaze, forgotten by he own creators but not by fans).
user 59897
MemberI know, right!? That would be awesome!
ginkei
MemberLet's hope that Sega gives to IDW the greenlight for that because I believe they could make a consistent universe for the franchise.

MemberWhere is the exchange between Sonic and Blaze from in which Sonic didn't respond?
Daneasaur
MemberIt's been a few years since I played it, but I think it's just before their final fight while playing Blaze's chapter.
I DO remember that after the final FINAL boss battle where the portal to Blaze's world opens up and she's about to be pulled back into it, Sonic tries to get her to stay in this world with him. She rejects his by simply not taking his outstretched hand and being pulled back into her world, having learned some of what makes Sonic powerful, leading to her accepting her role as the guardian of the Sol Emeralds.
